The present invention deals with determining the level of fluid in a container. Typically, a beverage container containing a liquid will absorb heat energy from the surrounding environment at a greater rate than a gaseous component in the headspace of the beverage container. Thus, as the liquid is drawn from a beverage container a greater headspace results. If a thermometric measuring device is employed along the height of the beverage container the volume may be determined by observing the difference in the temperature along the height of the beverage container. In practice, a beer keg may exhibit a difference of as much as 9 ~ Fahrenheit on the exterior surface of the beer keg when measured at the headspace as opposed to the area where the liquid is present in the beverage container.

L'invention concerne la détermination du niveau d'un fluide dans un contenant. Généralement, un contenant à boisson contenant un liquide absorbera l'énergie thermique provenant du milieu ambiant à une vitesse supérieure à celle d'un composant gazeux dans l'espace de tête d'un contenant à boisson. Ainsi, à mesure que le liquide est aspiré dans le contenant à boisson, l'espace de tête grandit. Si un dispositif de mesure thermométrique est utilisé sur la hauteur du contenant à boisson, le volume peut être déterminé par l'observation de la différence de température sur la hauteur dudit contenant. En pratique, un tonneau à bière peut présenter une différence pouvant atteindre 9· Farenheit sur sa surface extérieure lorsque la température est mesurée au niveau de l'espace de tête par rapport à la zone dans laquelle le liquide est présent dans le contenant.
